Here I am, on November 24, coming up on the three month anniversary of quitting smoking. For the past week I have been struggling a bit more than I had been, just at different, odd times. And I've been grumpier, or quicker to "flare", anyway. Just ask Lanny.
I think this is because I gave up the medicine a week to ten days ago. I believe the last vestiges of both the nicotine and the "quit smoking" drug have now been dredged from every last fat cell, nerve ending and brain receptor. With that huge ol' addiction gone, I just have to work on getting past all the old, long engrained habits. I just have to keep plugging away, one day at a time.
But I still carry the last of the quit smoking pills in my purse. Just in case . . .

Hey Mama, 3 months is EXACTLY the time after Tony quit that he told me he felt angry all the time. It's also when he started smoking again.
You CAN do it. You will get through this. You are a free woman and no addiction can rule you. Remember that!
Love you!
and the time I quit when I was hypnotised, I lasted 3 months. However, I have passed the 3-month mark this time. On December 23 it will have been FOUR months since that last cigarette. To get by the "bad spot", I have made my goal my 6th month anniversary. Thank you for the encouragement!
